Ingredients
  

8 medium-sized cherry tomatoes

1 can (5 oz) tuna in water, drained and flaked

2 tablespoons mayonnaise

1 tablespoon Greek yogurt

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice

1 tablespoon capers, chopped

2 tablespoons red onion, finely diced

1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Extra virgin olive oil for drizzling

Instructions
 

Prepare the Tomatoes: Begin by carefully cutting the tops off each cherry tomato. Using a small spoon or a melon baller, gently scoop out the insides, taking care not to break the outer skin. Once hollowed, place the tomatoes upside down on a paper towel to drain any excess moisture as you prepare the stuffing.

    Make the Tuna Filling: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the drained and flaked tuna with the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice. Add the chopped capers, finely diced red onion, and fresh parsley. Mix everything together until well combined and creamy. Season the mixture with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.

      Stuff the Tomatoes: Using a small spoon, carefully fill each hollowed cherry tomato with the tuna mixture. Press gently as you fill to ensure the stuffing is packed in, but be cautious not to break the fragile tomatoes.

        Drizzle with Olive Oil: Arrange the stuffed tomatoes on a serving plate. Drizzle a light coating of extra virgin olive oil over the tops to enhance the flavor and add a lovely sheen.

          Chill and Serve: For the best flavor, refrigerate the stuffed tomatoes for at least 15 minutes before serving. This allows all the flavors to meld beautifully. Serve them chilled as an elegant appetizer or a delightful light lunch.
